 Portal 2 BZP Custom Maps Topic

Hello, gamers! Portal 2 has been updated with a brand new Map creator tool (as of May 8th, 2012... hour pending thanks to Valve Time) and I wanted a topic hub to collect all the BZP members' creations.So to submit to the list, you need to either post a link here, or PM it to me so I can add it to the list.This topic will also serve as a comments' system for users' maps. If you liked a particular map, feel free to either post, or quote the post that user made with the map and comment on it. If you're not quoting a post, post specifically which map you meant. I encourage all map submitters to check back to see what people think.*NOTICE* I cannot update this every day. I'll -try- to keep it updated weekly, but I'm not perfect. For purposes of convenience to users, I will post what post I leave off at, that way if you burn through the whole list you can go find more at the latest post not added yet.This is the format the entries will be in:BZP UsernameSteam IDMap Name"Description"LinkThat way we all can see the map's info before downloadingWith that, let's start mapping!THE LIST1) BenLuke-116BenLuke-116A Traction Beam"Just a simple test of the Level Editor.

What about the source engine editor? I'm pretty sure some of those maps can be listed.

[Swert]

The thing is about those, they have to be hosted elsewhere for now until the Map Editor goes live. So we can't link to those without there being an approval system in place.Hence why we're sticking to whatever is posted on Valve's servers.

[Roablin]

Well today's the day; once they ship this thing the testing can begin!

[Calvirick]

So I guess everyone at Valve is sleeping in?Does anybody have it installed yet? Cause I'm not able to get it for some reason...

[BenLuke]

Just published my first map.So, what do do you guys think?

I subbed it, I'll play it in a little bit.Here's mine.Nothing too crazy.

[Calvirick]

So excited about this!! my map

[Swert]

And here's my map.I'll go update the first post at the end of the day.EDIT: And my other map!

[Eeko]

So excited about this!! my map

Oh man, I loved your map.The heart was a nice touch.

[Bfahome]

I've been working on a map all afternoon. I'll put it up once I'm through testing it (I want to make sure it works just right).(it is frustrating how long it takes to rebuild a map after making a couple of minor tweaks)

[Calvirick]

So excited about this!! my map

Oh man, I loved your map.The heart was a nice touch.

Thanks, I have a great beta tester, Hojirick who thinks like I do. Though compared to other chambers, my doesn't really make you think hard.

[Bfahome]

here we go(look at how clever that name is)(look at it)

[Swert]

Decided to try and churn out another quick one real fast.Now, I know mine seem "easy" but I'm still trying out the editor to get a feel for it. I'm sure everybody else is doing the same. Continue testing~

[Voltex]

Wishing I could play these. Hopefully by the end of the summer!-ibrow

[Calvirick]

NEW MAP!This one was beta tested. And it is solvable.

[Bfahome]

Map attempt #2.I need to start involving portals in these more. Edited May 9, 2012 by Bfahome

I freakin' love your descriptions Swert.

[Kothra]

My first test chamber: LinkIf you get stuck at the end, you're not actually stuck.

[Chols]

Oh goodie this exists!http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=68462340My first test chamber :B

Holy geez Bfa.I think I lost my mind in your maze.It was terrifying.It'd be even cooler if you had a turret or two in some of those dead-ends.Just to up the tension a bit.

[Swert]

Alright folks, the list was updated up to Chols there. Now anything that gets posted will probably end up on the list maybe Thurs-Friday this week. Depends on the backlog.And I think SWERT JOHNSON is taking over my brai-SWERT JOHNSON HERE. DON'T LISTEN TO THAT CLOWN, HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PITCH THESE SORTS OF THINGS. BASICALLY, WE NEED MORE TEST CHAMBERS FOR SCIENCE. I REMEMBER WHEN WE STARTED THIS TOPIC, FEELS JUST LIKE YESTERDAY. PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WAS. ANYWAY, KEEP POSTING THOSE LINKS, WE REALLY NEED TO BANKRUPT THE MULTIVERSE PEOPLE. SWERT JOHNSON, WE'RE DONE HERE.(I swear to the staff, I do not plan to do that often.)(... okay maybe once in awhile. Definitely in my map descriptions.)

[Bfahome]

It'd be even cooler if you had a turret or two in some of those dead-ends.Just to up the tension a bit.

Well I did add some things.Several things actually.Here's the updated version.I made it a separate map so I could keep the old one just because.It may have a few bugs because I kept getting errors when I tried to rebuild it, so testing was a nightmare. Tell me if you find anything out of place.

[Calvirick]

Mind Duel!!Gosh do I love doing this! Beta Tested and it is solvable.

[BULiK]

Wishing I could play these. Hopefully by the end of the summer!-ibrow

I know how you feel. I've been dying to play portal 2 but It's been on the other computer I can't use *twich*

[Bfahome]

You should probably consider having a Companion Cube dispenser in there as well. Accidentally fizzling it means you're stuck FOREVER.(or at least it seemed that way when I did it)

[Eeko]

The GridWhew.That one took a while.Lot's o' testing went into the making of this one.And I'm proud of it. :DEspecially the oscillating Excursion Funnel design. To my knowledge, it's never been done.So yeah, it's really big. Just so you know.

[Bfahome]

I republished Hop Swap Drop here because I didn't see a way to overwrite the previous version.

You have a point there. I figured people could just jump into the water, but of course that removes the whole idea of SAVING TIME.I'll go in there and fix it. Thanks for the idea! XD

[Roablin]

I have yet to finish a single test; I always find myself solving them instead.

[Bfahome]

Here's a fun one.Takes zero effort but it's interesting to watch.It took most of the day to get the pieces to work together properly.

[Kothra]

New map thing test.

[Swert]

Alright guys, I've updated the list as promised I would attempt to do.So, let's get back to making more maps! I'll probably build some after this week's over, it's chaotic x_x

[Roablin]

My first published test, the fiendishly simple Deviously Devilish Dilemma.
